I just finished collections of writings by Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller. The former is entitled In Favor of the Sensitive Man and Other Essays and the latter is The Cosmological Eye. I am interested in the writings of both writers, but I find the writings of Anaïs Nin more interesting. They both seemed to have lived their lives to the full. Anaïs Nin seemed to have more of a knowledge of twentieth century writers. I want to read more of the fiction of both authors. Both books make me want to learn more about the subjects of the essays that are included in these books. Henry Miller's book includes surrealistic pieces of fiction. Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller were sexually lovers as well as collaborators in other ways. They were important figures in twentieth-century literature.
